An Interview With Stephanie...

What can readers who discover your work this Black Friday/Cyber Monday weekend expect to experience? Is there a particular message or feeling you hope to convey through your stories during this time?

In my novels, I invite readers into the often unseen world of medicine, akin to how John Grisham peels back the layers of the legal arena. My goal is to showcase the real, raw struggles of doctors and healthcare workers who face extraordinary challenges every day. These stories aren't just about the medical profession; they're about the human spirit in the face of adversity.

Central to my narratives is Dr. Samantha Jenkins, a character who epitomizes strength and resilience. Her journey through the intricate labyrinths of medical mysteries is more than just solving cases; it's about standing up against injustice and seeking truth where it's often obscured. Sam’s courage and unwavering spirit are not only compelling but also inspirational. She's a beacon of hope, encouraging readers to believe in their ability to enact change and stand up for what's right.

When you dive into my books, you're not just reading a story; you're embarking on a journey of empowerment. Through the twists and turns of each plot, I aim to ignite a spark within you — to see the world differently, to question the status quo, and to find your own courage to face life's challenges. Join me in these thrilling explorations where medicine, mystery, and the resilience of the human spirit intertwine.

Could you give us a sneak peek into your current or upcoming projects? What exciting new worlds, characters, or adventures can your readers look forward to in the near future?

February will mark the arrival of Misguided Truth, the captivating fourth installment in the Dr. Samantha Jenkins Mystery Series. In this latest adventure, Sam travels to a quaint Texas town to solve the puzzling death of a local doctor. This story sets the stage for a thrilling evolution in the series.

As we move beyond Misguided Truth, expect an exhilarating shift. Sam’s career takes a dynamic turn, leading us into a world of more traditional mysteries and gripping thrillers. While Truth Promised drops hints about this new direction, Misguided Truth truly opens the door to these changes. Don’t miss out on this exciting journey with Dr. Samantha Jenkins!

During the hustle and bustle of the holiday shopping season, many turn to books for relaxation and escape. What are your personal favorite reads around this time of year, or do you have any go-to book recommendations for our readers?

During the holiday season, I often turn to the thrilling worlds crafted by authors like Michael Connelly, Lee Child, Karin Slaughter, Tess Gerritsen, and David Baldacci. Their novels, blending intrigue and escapism, are my perfect companions amidst the festive rush. Currently, I'm engrossed in David Baldacci's Simply Lies, a riveting thriller featuring a high-stakes duel between two formidable women. Next, I'm eager to dive into Michael Connelly's latest Lincoln Lawyer novel, Resurrection Walk, in time for his December 5th book club discussion online. These authors are ideal for anyone seeking suspenseful and engaging reads during the cozy holiday months.

As we dive into the holiday season, can you share how this festive time influences your writing or your stories? Do any of your characters or plots draw inspiration from the holiday spirit?

The holiday season does indeed have an influence in my writing, particularly with my second novel, Neglected Truth. This book unfolds over Halloween and Thanksgiving, infusing a distinct holiday essence into the mystery. If readers are looking for a story that combines the intrigue of a thriller with the unique atmosphere of these festive times, it’s the perfect choice. This novel not only brings a touch of holiday spirit but also dives deep into the emotional journey of a mother seeking justice for her son's death. It's a story that intertwines the search for truth and complex family dynamics against the backdrop of these festive times.

Are there any special offers, promotions, or unique aspects of your work that you are particularly excited about sharing with readers this Black Friday/Cyber Monday?

In the spirit of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, I'm offering three of my novels along with a bonus prequel at a special price, providing readers with an opportunity to indulge in hours of entertainment without breaking the bank. This is the first year I can make this fantastic deal as my books are no longer exclusively on Amazon. My aim is to deliver a rich, compelling reading experience through my mystery and thriller stories. This is a chance for new readers to get acquainted with the engrossing world of Dr. Samantha Jenkins, and for long-time fans to complete their collection, all while enjoying great savings.
